Trump Loses Patience With SALT Demand as Tax Bill Faces Snag

President Donald Trump is growing frustrated with demands to significantly boost the cap on the state and local tax deduction, according to a senior administration official, signaling a deadlock as Republicans aim to quickly pass a giant tax-cut bill.

Trump told lawmakers in a meeting on Tuesday not to let the SALT deduction or differences over social safety-net cuts impede the measure. But afterward members of warring factions told reporters they were still dug in in opposing the bill unless their changes are made.
